ravings from a woman one cat away from insanity

Monthly Archives: May 2013

Looking back at my time in San Antonio, I can’t help but feel like I never really fit in anywhere. I made plenty of friends and some friends I will stay close with all my life. I never really found a group I did well with. I went out with plenty of groups and had a great time, but I never had a go-to group of friends for weekends. That’s mostly my fault though. There was no shortage of friendly people here. I spent time with several groups of people I would have been happy to be a part of. I just never…did.

One of my biggest regrets here in San Antonio is not really letting my personality shine to everyone. I know WHY I did that, but I don’t want to do it anymore. Dallas is a great opportunity for me to not only return home but return home as a grown-up me. That could mean displaying life lessons and a new-found maturity or… a makeover! I don’t know about you, but I’ll take any excuse for a makeover.

Here is my thought. I think I’ll stick with my usual somewhat neutral makeup. I usually wear shimmery neutrals with black eyeliner and mascara and a pink or a sheer natural red on my lips. My fashion wardrobe is a major work in progress. I’m thinking I need to return to my roots. My hair (Get it! It’s a PUN!). I love my hair. Not to brag, but I have the best hair in San Antonio and I love to show it off. I have approximately a million hair accessories and I’m ready to bring them back.

Without further ado (and tangents) here’s my grown-up hair accessories wish list with insightful comments on each image! Click on an image to get the gallery started.

** I feel like I should add that I have very curly, long hair.**

Ok maybe it’s not totally grown-up, but I’m pretending this is French chic. $18 at Antropologie.

Love these colors! $15 at Anthropologie.

If cat ears made out of fake roses don’t say “I’m an adult” then I don’t know what does. $16 from Urban Outfitters

I can see this in black or white in a more professional setting. Yes, I just used the phrase “professional setting” while discussing hair bows. Deal with it. $34 from Nordstrom

I would wear this more like a headband, but I really like it. $3.80 from Forever 21.

These have the girly with an edge look down. I love that they are teeny tiny, so it’s not too much. $2.80 from Forever 21.

This isn’t super adult, but COME ON! This was made for me. I’m going to end up tearing my hair out of this at the end of the day, but it will be so worth it. $9.80 from Forever 21.

How could you not trust a digital consultant with a Grumpy Cat bow? In fact, don’t trust a digital consultant without Grumpy Cat accessories. As a rule. $6.75 from crashedhope on Etsy

Oh! That’s where I put my deer. $30 from Charolastras on Etsy

I’m loving these country chic burlap bows. $5.50 from ClipaBowBoutique on Etsy

We all knew this wasn’t going to be over without a rose crown. $50 from BloomDesignStudio on Etsy.
